(Belga) More than half of adult Americans have already received at least one dose of a corona vaccine. Roughly 130 million Americans over the age of 18 have had a shot, according to figures from the US health service CDC. About 84 million people in the US have also had a second injection, which is nearly a third of the adult population.
Not only does the US have the highest COVID-19 deaths in the world, the country is also going fast on vaccinations. Well-known American epidemiologist and government adviser Anthony Fauci, however, warned on Sunday that his country is still in a precarious situation. President Joe Biden has announced that any American who wants to can have a vaccine before May 1. For the time being, the vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer / BioNTech are being used. The use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been temporarily suspended due to possible rare side effects, but Fauci expects a decision to use the drug again in some form next Friday. The AstraZeneca vaccine is not (yet) used in the US. (Belga)
